Really liked learning more about Anna, She was a flat character in "Unspoken" nice to know her story and see her come into her own with Ben! Can not wait to continue the Series and see who we learn about next!!
The second in the Sunnydale series is an enjoyable, light read featuring a budding romance between Ben and Anna. Constance Phillips gives very compassionate portrayals of Anna and Ben as they overcome obstacles from the past and make decisions about their futures. It can definitely be read as a stand alone but I enjoy the consistent small town setting and townspeople. Sunnydale Farms, the horse training facility is featured beautifully in this story. If you love horses, small towns and light hearted feel-good romances this is for you.
Small towns can be a wonderful place to live as this author shows us in this delightful series. I love second chance romances. The first time around things got in the way along with complicated issues the time just wasn’t right, Ben was just a little to shy to ask Anna out. Things needed to be worked out as time goes by and bring Ben back to town he starts to think maybe just maybe the time is right for the women he loves.When I was a young girl I loved riding horses it is so relaxing, enjoyable, gives you time to work through issues as you race across the fields as well as a feeling of peace, calmness and freedom. For me it was easy to relate to this story of using horse riding with children with physical and emotional special needs to help them get all the feeling above and know they can master something. It is also very helpful for the adults that help them. I enjoyed seeing the characters from the past book and meeting new ones. It was great to see where they are and what is new in their life.Ben has or is losing those he loves it is a very trying time for him. He can be bullhead, stubborn and bratty at times. He has always has issues with his father, and he will have to work through them. Anna has so much patience with him, it was very touching how she reached out to him and bought him around. Life is too short as Ben learns with Anna help she has opened up a whole new world for him as well as his father. I thought this was a good touching read that I enjoyed. I can't wait to see what the next book is about.
Second book in this series that I have read and loved!!! Horses and romance, what could be better! Characters you invest in and a town you want to live in. The romance is sweet, makes you think of your first love. A definite.must read series!
This is the second book in the series and while it's not a much I would recommend reading book one before. This story is about Ben and Anna. Anna is the sister who we meet in book one. Ben is the son of Betty who owns the horse farm that Anna works at. The 2 have been working together on and off for years when Ben as come home between jobs and school. Anna is a self-sufficient women who knows what she wants in life while Ben is always on the go. When tragedy strikes the 2 become close and decisions have to be made but emotions from the part are causing problems. Can the over come then!!! I gave this book a 4 only because I felt that it could have used a bit more emotions from the characters. I am still looking forward to reading more in the series.
